Transcriptional profiling of MEF2-regulated genes in human neural progenitor cells derived from embryonic stem cells.

ABSTRACT: [Briefly describe the contents of the Data in Brief article. Tell the reader the repository and reference number for the data in the abstract to.] The myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) family of transcription factors is highly expressed in the brain, and constitutes a key determinant of neuronal survival, differentiation, and synaptic plasticity. However, genome-wide transcriptional profiling of MEF2-regulated genes has not yet been fully elucidated, particularly at the neural stem cell stage. Here we report the results of microarray analysis comparing mRNAs isolated from human neural progenitor/stem cells (hNPCs) derived from embryonic stem cells expressing a control vector versus progenitors expressing a constitutively-active form of MEF2 (MEF2CA), which increases MEF2 activity.
